I'm enjoying looking at lots of Christmas card inspiration and working at my newly cleaned table - imagine that - I can find what I'm looking for :)

Before I go...

I've missed the chance to comment on all of the cool "dates" this year, but it dawned on me that this one is my last chance of the year!

Today is December 12, 2012.

12/12/12

I just think that's fun! Yes, I'm kinda nerdy like that! Proud of it too!! If I was still teaching math, I would probably have had a lesson all about that. :)

Has today been a "cool day" for you?? I know the temps were cool here, and I also think it is pretty cool when things that you are working on start moving in forward motion. Here's to an exciting winter and new things to come! Hopefully in a few days I'll be reviewing some digital things I've been working on and preparing for the choice of a new word for 2013.

Just wanted to put another quick post up today. I wanted to share what my dear husband created for me, but first, you must see the before picture.

Are you gasping??? Or, maybe just rolling on the floor laughing hysterically! I had to spend a good while just putting all of this back either in its spot, or deciding on a new spot. Do you see that TEENY TINY space at the front edge of the desk by the blue masking tape? That is where I SQUEEZED some space to make a gift tag for a donated gift. Even then I thought all of it would come crashing down around me. hahahahaha.

Davis had built a small shelf for our bedroom television to raise it up a bit higher on the dresser and to allow a space for our cable / dvr box. He suggested to me that he make one for my desk since I keep way too many things there that I want to have handy. Now mind you, he just got me 2 of the IKEA carts as well (will share on a future post). Can you believe there is more off to the side of this???? ok - ready for the reveal???

TA DA!!!!

Woo Hooooooooooooo!!! Yea!!!!!!! I know it is still a little cluttered and a few things might change, but I really think I can work with this. All of my supplies for Christmas projects are to the left on the clip it up and the blue basket. The most used tools are right in front of me, and acryllic blocks are in the small white basket to my right, along with any stamps I need to have within reach in the white wooden box. All of my Paper Wings Productions stamps are in a box in my IKEA cart to my right and, just in case you were worried....the stickles are in a box just behind the clip it up. :) hee hee

I need to finish some projects this weekend, and do some more purging of supplies. I'll post again when I have more to reveal!

I can't believe how long it has been since I've blogged on my own blog. I've been busy with so many things, but I think things are about to change. I have so many things I want to talk about on the blog, but I think I'll start with sharing some of the projects I've been working on lately at the Aviary blog. All of these projects use stamps from Paper Wings Productions, and many of these sets were designed by yours truly.

OK, that is a lot of tags!!! When I look back at that whole frame I can't believe I came up with all of those ideas. Also, I really enjoyed coming up with the fall door decor and I'm still cracking up at the Twilight Tag.

I'll be working on a few more projects and plan to share them here. Plus, I'll be sharing some other things I've been working on - specifically, projects for my sister's baby showers. I've been cleaning up my craft space, and thanks to my dear husband, I have a newly built shelf that is making a WORLD of difference. Lots to share - come back soon!!!
